Wulfgar Gearhead Posts: 193 From: SAn diego, CA, USA Registered: Oct 99	posted 11-18-2002 11:52 PM So i put these on today because my other ones were not workin too well.. After I installed em and took the car for a drive I heard what sounded like kind of a distinct metallic clicking...Im guessing maybe when the car gets hot the copper bends a bit and I may have to torque the gaskets down a little more when it is warm. Any thoughts on what this may be? IP: Logged

Temporarily living in KY Registered: Feb 2002	posted 11-19-2002 07:17 AM My best results on any header gasket is to retorque three times after they are installed. put em on new.. drive around. Let motor cool over night. retorque before next startup. Repeat two more times and they will last a long time. my .02 ------------------ 64 Pro-Street Falcon 351C 4V 8.1s in 1/8 79 Ford Bronco 4 X 4 Lifted 6" 400 9.9s in 1/8 :) 70 Plymouth Cuda' 440 Magnum. 2600# Race Car 6.90 in 1/8 IP: Logged
